alt Hacker NewsOne of the reasons why I got my HAM license this year was specifically to have a means of communication that required no infrastructure. The HAM community is also very similar to the OSS community in many respects w/r/t constantly developing new free ways to use their spectrum.
I want to get a HAM license (it seems like a nerd rite of passage) but don't really want to get one if I'm never going to use it, which seems like it could end up the case since the HAM community seems to be comprised of mostly middle aged men, which tend not to have the greatest opinions about me (a young transgender woman) and aren't afraid to expect me to agree with them. Also in the current political climate it seems like a bad idea to dox myself
